My brother gave me a 128MB Radeon 9000 Pro for Christmas to replace my aging 8MB Matrox G200. Does anyone here have one?
For drivers, ATI distributes a binary RPM package here: http://mirror.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html which says: "Fixed in this driver: * fglrxconfig program lists Radeon 9000 Pro and 9500 Pro." Has anyone tried it? Did you simply use `alien' to convert the RPM package? I hear that the card will be supported under XFree 4.3, due out soon (except I'll have to wait for Debian packages, or figure out which binaries to drop in place). I also found this: http://home.t-online.de/home/hburde/linux.html which says "The simple, 2nd solution is to fake a Radeon 8500 which is supported and compatible with the Radeon 9000." and provides a XF86Config file 'driver section'. I'm reluctant to pull-out my old Matrox until I know the new card will work. Thanks for any advice! Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
